Well then. A few tough ties for the Premier League sides, especially Chelsea and Tottenham, who face Barcelona and Juventus respectively.

Manchester City look to have the easiest draw on paper v Basel, although Basel did beat Manchester United in the group stage.

Positives for Tottenham and Chelsea? How about the fact that Juventus have been eliminated in each of their last five knockout ties with English teams in Europe.

And, Lionel Messi has not scored in his previous eight appearances against Chelsea.

Chelsea and Barcelona have met 12 times in the Champions League, with the English side winning four, and Barca winning three.

Manchester United Europa League winners 2017 versus Sevilla Europa League winners 2014, 2015 and 2016

Liverpool versus Oporto the Portuguese side.

Some intriguing ties for the English teams, but what about Real Madrid against PSG? Surely the tie of the round.

The holders, with Ronaldo, Benzema and (potentially) Bale in their line-up, facing Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani.
